Stuck in her seatbelt, Nami was unable to escape the coming trunks. She watched in what could only be described as terror as they crashed through the metal, seeming to go right through Sanji as Nami threw up her arms to protect herself. Something snapped as the log hit into her, pressing her up against the side of the van. Her arms throbbed against the wood, and her seatbelt cut into her skin in a way that made it seem impossible that she wasn't bleeding. Somehow it hadn't broken through, and she'd squealed again as another log tumbled towards where she was trapped. The one holding her down - with that terrible pressure on her arm - it was huge. She had nowhere to go, and this one was bound to crush her if it had its way. That, or push her through the door, which would probably have the same effect anyway.

Screwing her eyes shut, Nami waited for the impact and the pain she knew would come with it. She hoped it would knock her out - or kill her - quickly. It was really the best she could hope for.

She heard it moving as if in slow motion, coming closer and closer and closer... and then it stopped.

She heard a grunt from above her, and she opened her eyes slowly, then gasped.

"Luffy!"

The slender boy stood above her, his right arm thrust out in front of him. His eyes were shut and his teeth were clenched and it took Nami a moment to realize what he had done.

The boy's arm was stuck in between the log pinning her and the one that had been coming. He'd stopped it... with his bare flesh.

"Are you okay, Nami?" He choked out the words, and she responded just as breathlessly.

"I think my arms..." she coughed. "I'm... crushed."

"We'll get you out," Luffy didn't move, but a moment later she heard noises coming from behind her as someone climbed into the van.

"I called... the police," said Usopp.

"Good," Luffy said, sounding amazingly calm for someone whose arm was crushed between two enormous logs. Nami wasn't sure if he was stuck or unwilling to move for her sake, but either way she didn't like it. "Where are the others?" Luffy asked. "What's going on out there?"

"A whole bunch of logs rolled down the hill," Usopp blabbed, glad to fill the tense silence. "Apparently there's a hill. We're lucky only three of 'em hit the van..."

"Three?" Nami spoke up painfully, taking a sharp breath. Her arms were still folded across her body, and between the log and the van's door, which they didn't dare open, she had little room to breathe or move or really do much of anything.

"The third one fell on the back," Usopp said softly after a moment. "It tore the roof right off and went down the hill, but..."he was quiet a moment longer and Nami internally cursed her inability to look over her shoulder.

"But what?" Luffy asked, unsure if he wanted to hear the answer.

"I think it hit Zoro in the head," the long nosed teen spoke bluntly, though they could hear the distress in his voice. "There's... so much blood."

"What?!" Luffy cried out where Nami couldn't, and she felt the logs shift as he strained to look at the back seat.

"It's fine!" Usopp said quickly. "I tied him up in my shirt... it's just... his head..."

"His-?!" Luffy bit back more shouting, and above her Nami could see the tears in his eyes that she didn't think were caused by his arm. "And Sanji?" His voice was low; as was Usopp's when he answered.

"He's... crushed," he said. "The first log rolled right over him, I think, and that one is still on top of him." There was another pause, and the seat creaked as Usopp moved. "He's out cold."

Neither Luffy or Nami had a response for that, so Luffy just asked the next logical question:
"Are you okay, Usopp?"

"I'm... fine." The teen's voice was quiet as he answered, shaking as he went on. "I... I ran away. When I saw the truck tipping I threw open the door and rolled down the hill... I got some scratches but I'm okay." He sounded ashamed, and despite the situation Luffy tried to cheer him up.

"Hey, if you hadn't run away you would have got hurt too," he said quickly. "Then you couldn't have helped Zoro! So I think it was a good thing."

"I guess..." Usopp still sounded upset, and Nami quietly marveled at how well the two of them seemed to be taking this. She was practically hyperventilating herself, and the two of them were just chatting it up... but then, maybe that was their way of dealing with things. She, on the other hand, needed to calm down - she was running out of air fast, and the cramped quarters and worrying about her friends was hardly helping. Her body ached all over, and as she forced herself to slow her breathing, she heard sirens approaching.

"Ah!" Usopp jumped up, shaking the van and causing both Nami and Luffy to cry out as the logs shifted. Muttering frantic apologies, the shirtless teen bolted into the road, waving his arms wildly to summon their rescuers to the scene. Nami closed her eyes to wait, hoping they would arrive soon and help her get out of this mess - and more importantly, everyone else.

She could only pray they would all be okay.
